End The Day On A Good Note

This is our second deck of "Talking Point" cards. Both decks do a great job of jumpstarting important conversations with your kids. This deck is aimed at younger kids and the questions promote mindfulness and can help build emotional regulation skills.The entire set is well thought out with age-appropriate and thought-provoking questions, an easy-to-read font, and a secure box that closes securely.This set has 63 cards with a main question on the front and two "dig deeper" questions.There are seven color-coded topics in the deck, and the cards are divided like so:11 Recap12 Winding Down10 Gratitude7 Tech8 Routine9 Nutrition6 FearsAs with the Teens Technology + Boundaries deck, the Winding Down deck helps avoid overthinking how to phrase things and makes it easier to start conversations. As ever, I appreciate things that make things easier for my family (and reduce mental loads- because yes, I could think up 189 wonderful thought-provoking questions but now I don't have to). Strongly recommended.

Excellent way to get your teen to open up and calm themselves. Not only are the cards enjoyable, but they help with bonding. The cards are nice and thick and will definitely last for a long time.

This was great to use with my 12 year-old niece. Instead of being on her phone at night an hour before bed she actually chose to put the phone down and sit and go through cards and discuss things with me. These are wonderful for anyone trying to reconnect with a kid, child niece, nephew, or even just a friend.

I love the idea of these cards. Well I’m sure anyone could sit and think of questions or search the Internet, having a small deck makes it incredibly easy to discuss at bedtime or in the car or at a dinner. Instead of everyone being bored and lost in their own world. This can really help us generate a good conversation. It also allows for some topics and conversations That might be important to talk about with your kids, but they might not like you asking. This is great because I didn’t ask the question, it was on the card.

These cards are a god send for exhausted parents who want to connect with their kids at the end of their day and need some "help/encouragement". I think they're intended for bedtime, but we actually use them at dinner and it really gets the conversations going. I love that they provide some guidance on how to use the cards effectively, and I love that each card has a thought provoking question and two follow up questions to that question on the back. My kids at first were not thrilled to use them....as in "Oh Dad, why are we doing this". But that turned quickly to anticipation of each days dinner topic. Great for family building and understanding what's going on in your little one's brain's. It really helps to understand their joy, fear, anxiety, etc. much better. HIGHLY recommended!!!

These cards can be used as a quiet activity to settle down for the evening or as we have done, use them for family dinners with cousins. They have great questions with follow ups to use as needed. We have found that everyone wants to add their comments and the conversation is off and running. I have also found that even though you have used a question before, you can rephrase it for another conversation. By having the conversations with trusted cousins, the kids realize that we all have many of the same feelings and learn how others handle those feelings/emotions in similar situations. I'd order this again.

The TALKING POINT CARDS Pocket Packs - Winding Down are a wonderful tool for homeschoolers, especially on those stressful days. These cards offer quick, reflective prompts that encourage relaxation and help kids (and parents) transition from a hectic day to a calmer state. The easy-to-carry pocket size makes them great for quick use during breaks or after school. With thoughtful questions and calming suggestions, they help foster mindfulness and promote emotional well-being, making them a great addition to any homeschool routine.

As any parent knows, bedtime can feel like a cross between a zoo and an Olympic gymnastics meet. So when I found these TALKING POINT CARDS for winding down, I figured it was worth a shot to avoid our usual nightly circus. These little gems have been a great addition to bedtime. Each card offers a calming question that not only stops my kids in their tracks but actually gets them to sit down and engage. It's like flipping a switch from hyper to zen. Now, bedtime is filled with thoughtful conversations instead of ceiling fan acrobatics. And the bonus? I get to hear all about the high and low points of their day, which really does make us all feel more connected. These cards have turned bedtime into one of my favorite parts of our day.

These cards are fantastic for winding down and sparking meaningful conversations. They’re easy to use, portable, and make any chill evening more engaging. Highly recommend for anyone looking to connect in a relaxed way!

This company has come out with some great card packs for promoting conversations between families, friends, and couples. I got this “Winding Down” pocket pack not to use with my kids (my kids all have four legs and don’t speak English), but with the students I work with every day. The questions on most of the cards are still very applicable, but since it’s meant to be used before bedtime, I figured they’d still have some great conversation starters that are low-pressure and meant to promote reflection and a sense of calm. I love that each card has three questions of increasing depth, so you can choose how deep to dive into the topic depending on how comfortable the student/students are comfortable with sharing. Another hit from Talking Point!
